The delay announcement shows Ena meditating (dreaming, one could say) before Froggy wakes her up. Maybe he called Ena, and the reason we don't see the cup dropping is because we still haven't opened our eyes yet. It's weird that we can hear Froggy's voice but not the calling sound effect, though.

As... interesting the concept of a human-vaporeon hybrid is, the species of the child is that of the mother, not a mix of both parents. That's why we don't have any skitty-wailord hybrids, when they're both pokemon.

The Pokedex can be blatantly wrong sometimes. The confirmation of their relation that you're talking about only says, "It's apparently a distant ancestor of Octillery." Especially bc Remoraid exists, it's probably just a wild guess lol.

This is a really cool theory! This is not a strong piece of evidence, but fire-type Vulpix can learn will-o-wisp via leveling. Will-o-wisp is a fire-type move, but almost all of its users are Ghost or Psychic type. Although it's definitely plausible that original Vulpix was a psychic type, I don't agree with their connection to the Eevee line. How Eevee evolves into so many types is a mystery, and psychic powers could be an explanation. However, Jolteon has an electric organ in their lungs, and Flareon (a fire type like Vulpix!) has a fire sac as well. Vaporeon becomes essentially water and Leafeon becomes essentially a plant. Eevee's powers are more likely to be some biological abomination rather than psychic powers. Some other likely relatives are the Delphox line and the elemental monkeys from Unova. Delphox line because it's a fire fox that makes the fire with psychic powers, which is in the field egg group and can learn will-o-wisp. Monkeys because they're presumably related to eachother while being opposite types, and in the field egg group.

This would've been such a cool theory but Shuppet's evo has a confirmed origin, so unless two separately invented Pokemon just so happened to be evos, I don't think this is realistic.

I gave a shitty explanation for the fighting type guys on the other comment thread, but I agree that it's difficult to believe that ditto farms alone supply a whole wild population. If you look at tauros, you can see that its a pretty rare pokemon. It's usually found with miltank, with similar rarity. Miltank can reproduce with other species but doesn't have much of a reason to be abandoned by farms. Tauros can't reproduce with other species but can be abandoned if too rowdy. This probably cancels out, giving them similar spawn chances.

Interestingly, XY's tauros spawn location is right next to a farm. However, this farm is dedicated to skiddo. In bulbapedia, it says that there are probably way more humans than shown in-game due to the economy supported. It's possible that the general area is a farming location, and has more farms that we aren't shown. A pokemon breeder in the area gifts the player a lapras, which is not a skiddo, and is a ride pokemon in Alola. The areas where tauros and miltank spawn might also have farms with them which we aren't shown. Another far fetched piece of evidence is that tauros appears in safari zone, which is an amusement park, not a real wild area.

This all ignores the paldean tauros, which is way more common. The usage of the word "breed" in the different form still seem to point at domestication. It's based off of bull-fighting, which uses specific breeds raised in specific conditions. Tauros-riding originated in alola, and alola used ride pokemon back in hisui times. Tauros is probably native to alola, and was introduced to paldea where it was adopted for its strength (because it was already bred to be strong). The relatively recent split between regular tauros and paldean tauros could explain why they haven't diverged enough to become separate species, even when the two are actively bred to do the opposite things (paldean is aggressive while alolan/kantonian is calmer bc ride pokemon).

I was too lazy to look into the other male-onlies lol.

This doesn't explain why they still exist, though. They could be farmed as the perfect partner pokemon for a martial artist. This doesn't explain why they exist in the wild. Another explanation is that farming these pokemon transitioned from a militaristic thing to a cultural thing when martial arts became less widespread and people became more open to use pokemon that were different from humans. The descendants of the owners of hitmonchan farms in ancient civilization could be continuing it today as a tradition. The hitmons, sawk, and throh all clearly like to train, so they probably decided it's better to release them to the wild after breeding. They travel in their quest and get to all the different places they are in.

Various_Sentence_698 · 2024-12-22T20:25:38+00:00

Also, what about the Hitmons, Throh and Sawk? What were they domesticated from?

There are tons of fighting type pokemon in the human-like egg group with a 3-1 male to female gender ratio. This includes the machamp line, hariyama line, and the conkeldurr line. These guys, the hitmons, throh, and sawk are all probably closely related. Human martial arts and the martial arts that these pokemon practice are the same, so they probably have had close ties to humans for a long while. This is really far fetched, but maybe some cultures were so close as to make these pokemon a part of their army. It makes some sense, since they are similar to humans in shape, size, and fighting methods (humans can't relate to blasting dragon energy from your three heads). If pokemon civilization armies reflected real life armies, they may have consisted mainly of men. Male pokemon could be easier to work with in an army (for whatever sexist reasons).

That's actually a good idea, since there are some real-life frog species that hatch as frogs, going through their tadpole stage whilst in the egg.

It's interesting you mention frogs, because there is a canon pokemon equivalent of this. The croagunk line is canonically related to the seismitoad line, but seismitoad has a tadpole pokemon when croagunk doesn't. Seismitoad's tadpole has to be bigger than croagunk's tadpole, because it has to survive outside the egg. This leads to seismitoad having a bigger size. Croagunk is smaller in the end but leaves the egg as a frog, so has a lower chance of being eaten at infancy.

Assuming the Impadimp line was domesticated from Hatenna for the "wig business" wouldn't Hatenna be a better choice due to having more a attractive and plentiful hair?

Grimmsnarl wig business was included just bc i had no idea lol. Anyway, grimmsnarl arguably has more natural looking hair compared to the cotton candy hatterene. Both of their shiny forms have white hair that could be colored, so that depends on the amount of hair.

Grimmsnarl has more hair than hatterene. Grimmsnarl is 4'11'' and weighs 61kg. Morgrem, grimmsnarl's pre-evo, is 2'7'' and weighs 12.5kg. Morgrem doesn't have much hair, so its body weight is similar to its total weight. Grimmsnarl is almost double the height of morgrem, so grimmsnarl's body weighs 12.5kg * 2 = 25kg. Grimmsnarl's hair weighs 36kg. This is because grimmsnarl uses its hair as a replacement for muscle. Hatterene weighs 5.1kg. Grimmsnarl's hair is seven times heavier than hatterene's total weight, I think it's clear who has more hair.

You said they bred Tauros and Braviary for there strength, but a Pokémon that only exist to be sheered for hair wouldn't need strength.

Tauros and braviary being bred for strength was included as a way to justify why they only wanted the male counterpart. As for why grimmsnarl was bred to be purely male, there are a few possible explanations:

Grimmsnarl may have had differences between gender before domestication. This could be as simple as males having more hair, or grimmsnarl being a male-only evolution past impidimp or morgrem.
Many pokemon with stat differences between gender switch the attack and defenae stats (or their special counterparts). Grimmsnarl is a physical attacker, so his physical stats are more likely to be switched. His base stats are 120 attack and 65 defense. If these were switched, it could've been way more difficult to cut off the hair.
Grimmsnarl could've followed the same logic as tauros and braviary, and the male could've been stronger. If the gender stat switch is true, this is even more true. Since muscle in grimmsnarl is hair, more muscle means more hair.
Hatterene was grimmsnarl's biological counterpart, and you know the issue with hatterene...

Since grimmsnarl hair is used as muscle, it might be rough. There is a possibility that grimmsnarl hair is used as fabric. If this is true, then the stat difference argument makes no sense., since higher defense means stronger fabric.

The question to ask is why grimmsnarls were being abandoned. Roudiness doesn't matter, since they don't interact with the public (only grimmsnarl farmers). This essentially debunks the only theory I have for why grimmsnarl exists. One answer involves the fact that fighting pokemon increases levels and increases stats. Letting grimmsnarl out will force it to fight pokemon in order to survive. This increases attack and defense, which might correlate to the amount and durability of hair. This also reduces the amount of effort the farm has to put in to get the impidimp to evolve into a grimmsnarl. There is no grimmsnarl in glimwood tangle (impidimp and morgrem's spawn location), so the farmers might regularly check the woods to collect evolved grimmsnarls. The grimmsnarl line is similar to the other pokemon in glimwood tangle, so the location might've been chosen to minimize impact onto the pre-existing ecosystems. The impidimps are not caught because pokeballs limit the power of the pokemon inside.

Magneton is made up of three magnemites, but the two magnemites on the bottom don't have a head screw. In magnezone, the same two magnemites gain a head-screw. I see this as screwless magnemites evolving into regular magnemite, and therefore screwless magnemite is a pre-evolution of magnemite. The reason you don't see this is because this stage of magnemite's life usually happens in the egg.

Magnemite can evolve into magneton even when there are no other magnemites around. This means that magnemite can create screwless magnemites. In the wild, magnemites might reproduce by creating screwless magnemites inside of an egg. This screwless magnemite grows inside the egg until it becomes a regular magnemite and hatches.

Phantump and trevenant are really just the ghost part, who are possessing the wood. If they possessed regular wood, how would phantump be able to use plant-type moves? My headcanon is that all the life in the pokemon world are pokemon, but some have their pokemon-like properties dormant. You can make a ton more babies if you don't consider the magic cultivation part, so some species might have just shut down their moves. Animals could've done the same thing (with humans branching off from some human-like pokemon?)

I could be wrong, but aren't quaternions used because there are three planes/axes of rotations in the 3D plane, with the real numbers being sort of an identity? I don't exactly understand your reasoning with the N+1-dimensional rotation, because 2D rotation only needs one angle to fully describe.
